UNITED STATES PATENT OEErCEQ HUGO SALOMO, OF MELBOURNE, VICTORIA.

LATHE-DOG.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 314,482, dated March24, 1885.

Application filed January 22, 1885. (No model.) l

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HUGO SALoMo,a subject of the Emperor of Germany,residing at N o. 148 Bourke Street west, inthe city of Melbourne, andBritish colony of Victoria, engineer, have invented an Improved Oarrierfor Wood-Turning Lathes, (for which I have made application for LettersPatent in the British colony of Victoria on the 28th dayv of November,1884,) of which the following is a specication.

This invention has been designed, principally, for the purposeofprovidiuga tool which will hold securely between the heads ofawoodturning lathe a solid of wood made up of two or more pieces fittedtogethereither dametrically or radially for special purposesas inpattern making--without their being secured together by central staplesor other means-such as gluing, screwing, or bradding--as is usually donewhen paterns require to be made up in sections. It will also be founduseful for Wood-turners, as by its use the piece of wood being turnedmay be placed in or taken out of the lathe while it is in motion withoutany fear of accident, as in my carrier there are no single projectingparts away from the center to catch the wood, as there are in the wingsof the ordinary butterfly carrier.

My improved carrier consists of a metallic disk having a ring projectingforward from it at its periphery, and stretching across the face of thedisk and level with the ring are cross vanes or ribs at right angles toeach other, the section of which ring and vanes is wedge shape orfeather-edged, andat the central intersection of these vanes I form alcenter which projects forward a distance I provided with either atapered shank (with or without a slot for a feather) to suit the spindleof the lathe; or it may be made plain or flat, and provided with holesthrough which to screw it to the faceplate or chuck. The carrier at theback or shifting head has a boss formed on its back, in which is acountersunk hole to receive the back center. Vhen used by wood-turnersfor solid pieces of wood, it is obvious that only the one carrier isnecessary.

Referring to my drawings, Figure l shows a perspective view ot' one ofmy carriers attached to a tapered shank; Fig. 2, front view thereof,while Fig. 3 shows vertical section of my carrier for attachment to afaceplate; and Fig. 4t, vertical section of same, suitable for use onthe center of the back or shifting head; and in these figures A is themetallic disk; A', its tapered ring; A2, ils tapered cross-vanes, and A3its projecting center, which may be either of an angular or roundsection.

B is the shank for inserting in the lathespindle, and B groove thereinfor feather.

U G are the screw-holes, provided for securing it to a faceplate orchuck, and D is the countersunk hole for working on the backhead center.

Having thus described the nature of my invention and its object, what Iclaim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The herein-described carrier for wood-turning, composed of a shank, B,provided with a groove, BQ and terminating in a cylindroconical head,A', the center A3,and the wings A2, radiating from said center, for thepurpose specified.

HUGO SALOMO.
